Ian Dewhirst Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 No More Games - Larry Wedgeworth & Clique Groovehall Records 1980 Yep, finally managed to get a handful of copies of this Modern anthem from one of the original producers. For those who don't know the story behind it, this record was originally produced in anticipation of the Boston Celtics basketball team winning a key match. However, the records got pressed in Chile and took an age to reach the U.S. by which time the Boston Celtics had been bounced out of the final, so basically the records got there too late to be sold! The majority of 'em were dumped and the producers ended up with a box or two each at the time. However, that was 30 odd years ago so probably most of the others have been dumped too. Until I bumped into one of the producers before Xmas and he said he may have a few copies knocking around at his parents place in the U.S...... Well, true to his word, he turned up today with a handful of copies, so I'll do 'em @ £50 a pop inc P&P if anyone would like a copy. Please PM me and I'll do 'em a first come first served basis. Best, Ian D
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Great price Ian - well done mate... Yep, you know how these things are. I thought it had fallen through and then the guy rolled up unnanounced with 'em today. Hope you're well and business is booming! Ian D

Looked for one for ages and finally picked it up quite recently, not for 50 quid I hasten to add so one or two are gonna get a bargain here atb Phil Yep, sold about 8 or 9 and down to the last few now, so pretty popular by the looks of it. I don't think it's that easy to find........ Ian D Edited January 20, 2011 by Ian Dewhirst
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Wow. Plenty of fans of this tune which is great 'cos it's a crowd-pleasing killer at the right venues. If everyone follows through on their orders, then we're literally down to the last half-dozen copies which will go to dealers who want 'em. So last chance saloon for anyone who wants to snag one now at this price. I just KNOW I'll be kicking myself in 3 months time when everyone is screaming for a copy LOL. Saw it happen with Gayle Adams "Baby I Need Your Loving" and "Party Time Man" - The Futures and this feels kinda similar........ Wish I had a quid for everytime I've said this over the years! Ian D
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 still sound as good as it ever did Yeah, I think so too mate. Sounds like an anthemic crowd-pleasing top-of-the-night record to me which will work for wide audiences, many of which may have never heard it before. Damn. I'd better keep one for myself LOL......... Ian D
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 OK, all copies that have now been paid for have now been mailed. Still waiting on a couple of payments for reserved copies though so get your skates on! Ian D
Ian Dewhirst Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Mmm. Makes my £50 copies look like a bargain now dunnit? Larry Wedgeworth & Clique - E-Bay Cheers to Nev for alerting me LOL....... Ian D
